    Hi there,

    How many keywords should be used in the Page title from SEO point of view.

    suppose Calling Cards is my main targeted keyword. should I use other supporting/relevant keywords or only use this single keyword in the title.

    What's the best from SEO point of view?

    Regards

    I think you should not overstuff.
    Usually I use a keyword variations in a page name, titleand header.
    Do not repeat the same keyword everywhere, combine it with some related keywords.

    I use a keyword phrase I am going to get top rank with for my page title. Whatever it is, however many strong words it has, when it is your title, it has a greater likelihood of getting higher rank for a search.

    Keyword stuffing, to me, is repetition of the same word(s).

    I'd use Calling Cards if your site is already strong at the engines and this is your goal. If your site is fairly new, I'd make a plan to use a less competitive keyword phrase like "Buy Calling Cards" or "Affordable Calling Cards." This way you have a better chance of getting a good rank, sooner than it would have taken for the popular "Calling Cards."

    as long as your title doesn't look to stuffy then it fine. just pick the best keyword and use it to your title.

    Lately I've seen a lot of folks using a breadcrumbs like approach in their titles. Something like:

    Widgets site | colored widgets | red widgets | dark red widgets

    They'll do this even if the site isn't arranged in sections like the breadcrumbs would indicate. Would this constitute stuffing, do you think? I presume they're trying to rank for various related keywords, but the core word appears in them all.

    If you think you can rank high for the term "calling cards" then I wouldn't add anything else to the site title. Add other words you're targeting like "best", "cheap", etc. to the page description. I've had good success getting ranked first for the multi word terms ("best calling cards") when I make it to #1 in Google for the two word term.

    For the title, use a keyword phrase that tells mainly what the site is all about. I suggest a three-word phrase. Also, try this tool to help you analyze your keywords and to know how much competition you have in that particular keyword phrase.
